You're the average of your friends. If you want to stay ambitious and principal then it helps to have friends that are of the same mindset.

In relation to that same advice, make your environment as positive as you can as you're also a byproduct of it. The school you go to, the things you watch, the books you read, the friends you make, the family you have, the job you take, the colleagues you connect with, the city you live in, the conferences you attend, etc will have an effect on the person you become.
